Subject:  Facility Population for Census Report 

Each year the Georgia Office of Planning and Budget works in conjunction with the Bureau of the Census to develop population estimates and projections for the State of Georgia.  As part of this process, it is necessary to collect information about the institutional/group quarters population.  The facilities include but are not limited to: 

• Juvenile Facilities (juvenile institutions including homes, schools, and hospitals),

• Emergency or homeless Shelters and Domestic Violence Shelters,

• Short-term facilities for runaway or homeless children,

• Other group homes including maternity homes, 

• Facilities and group homes for the handicapped or chronically ill,

• Substance Abuse residential treatment/recovery facilities and group homes,

• Mental health/Mental retardation residential treatment/recovery facilities and group homes,

• Agricultural worker’s dormitories, and

• Religious group quarters including convents, monasteries and rectories.

I am requesting the current facility population count. If you have more than one residential facility, please send a separate report for each facility. 

Please use a full street address, as we need to geocode these data.  If your address is not a standard address (box number or rural route), please include directions that would enable a stranger to find your facility.  If the facility has a confidential address, please note that. We will be geocoding the confidential address to the local courthouse address. 

Please submit this information by May 27, 2009.   Thank you for your assistance and if you have any questions, please call me at (404) 656-6515.
